Recently I was invited to the opening of In Situ Design a new design concept showroom and shop in Singapore focussing on art and interior design. It is a collaboration between creative director Isabelle Persenda and Eric Ledoigt who founded In Situ in Guatemala. In Situ features creative concepts by talented international designers and artists.
Above and below you can also see 2 artworks from a German artist, made out of nails. Both depicting faces and they need to be seen from a further distance than on these photos. They look spectacular.
The showroom showcases handcrafted pieces, including furniture, decorations, antiques, soft furnishings and art pieces. The showroom embodies a style of living, inspired by Isabelle herself, with a striking interior design and a warm, soulful ambience. The bespoke fittings complete the scene and highlight the creative collection.
Key items in the collection include sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, consoles and a limited collection of antique pieces, striking the ideal balance between modern and vintage. In Situ also features bedspreads and bed covers, soft furnishings and tablemats – all handmade, handcrafted or hand-woven on loom from 100% cotton, as well as coasters, wall ornaments and gold-leaf items. In Situ also provides personalised home interior design consultancy services to help their clients to visualise, choose and create their desired habitats.
Of course I was interested in the fashion on display too! Here is blogger buddy Paula looking fabulous in a dress.
Love to wear a little black dress? Make it look amazing with the addition of a stand-out bag. I love her Issey Miyake Bao Bao bag, which is now also on my wish list. Really digging her haircut too!
Two more fabulous ladies. The woman in front was wearing some killer heals, wich unfortunately is not captured in this image. She looked great in her colorful peplum. And what a great hair color does the lady in the back have!
Here is a better view of that remarkable table.
You all know the fabulous Anja who was looking as colorful as ever.
I loved this assymetrical dress from local label Saturday which is so beautifully paired with the hip shoes. Also note the painting in the back. That would be a great talking piece for your living room!
The picture below looks like a necklace but is actually an art piece for your wall and is more than 1m wide (pictures can be deceiving).
Some further impressions from the show room…
Designer Eric Ledoigt together with the PR agent, looking very chic in her textured dress.
They had a lot of beautiful things at In situ and I really love their aesthetic. If you love orginial design and beautiful interiors then I would encourage you to give In Situ a visit. They can be found at: 238 River Valley Road in Singapore and are open from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm and Sunday from 12 to 5 pm. For more info you can also visit their Facebook page.

I agree with Greetje, probably a good thing I am far away, because there is plenty of items I would love to take home. First item would be that red lamp, love the simplicity yet unique design of it. Next would be that black end table with the O rings on the end. For the fashion part, I really love that little black dress (I will take the hair cut as well). All in all it looks as though you had a fantastic day and you showed up with style to the max.
What an amazing place! Everyone including you looks so effortlessly chic!
The shop is modern but warm with all of those stunning wooden products.
I like everything in this store, plus your fellow shoppers look stylish. Adore your shoes and fab outfit!
blue hue wonderland
I see a whole lot that I like. It is a good thing I am so far away.
By the way.. That yellow skirts works very well for you. Good combination with the belt, shoes and blouse.
We have a very similar showroom in West Nashville featuring cutting edge artwork and furniture. I see quite a few things I like very much but the rococo mirror is my favorite. I love your bright yellow skirt as well 😉

Beautiful photos Sylvia. I too love the Issey Miyake bag.
